Secretary of State Clinton Launches 1,000 Days Movement

At the launch, which Hunger Project President and CEO Mary Ellen McNish attended, Secretary Clinton specifically thanked The Hunger Project along with our partner organizations for our role in establishing the thousanddays.org website as a unified hub on nutrition issues. Secretary Clinton emphasized the website's ability to engage countless groups of people to join the movement and improve the lives of children throughout the world.

About the 1,000 Days Movement

Maternal and child nutrition during the first 1,000 days - pregnancy through age two - shapes a child's future. This critical window of time can have a measurable and lasting impact on a child's growth and development. A group of organizations, including The Hunger Project, have come together to support the shared purpose of a health first 1,000 days for children worldwide.
